SALES RELATED

Selling doesn’t cause buying

The sales model is meant to assess needs and place solutions. It was not designed to manage the complex change issues that our buyers must content with behind the scenes, and before they can buy. Hear Sharon Drew discuss the cost to us – in lost sales, in over long sales cycles, in time wastage – because we don’t have a useful model to help buyers manage their buying decisions. She will introduce the Buying Facilitation® model and how us how managing the front end of the buying decision can enable buying – and help sellers close in a fraction of the time.

Sales: your competitive edge for a new economy

Our economy has changed. We’re a global community, with global competition and global partners. Our product is not enough to get us new clients – they need to manage their complex, internal decisions before they’ll buy. To compete globally, we need to take on some new skills. This presentation will motivate sellers to begin to go outside their comfort zone and get them thinking about how to help buyers manage their internal decision.

What are customers? And how do we keep them?

Customers are internal, external, global, and necessary. We don’t keep them because we have a good product or a good brand. We keep them because we continually give them reasons to trust us and choose to stay connected. How do we offer customers the continual choice to remain committed and loyal?

BUY-IN & CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Our implementations are well thought out, rational, and financially sound. We assume that our employees will willingly go through the change process. But we request buy-in to late in our process.

TESTIMONIALS

As controversial as Sharon Drew might be, she made some good and radical points, for example “You are losing 97% of your leads”.
Half of the people who attended her talk hated her because they didn’t want to challenge themselves or change; half wanted more. One thing I clearly
remember about her speech is that she focused on the dealers and not herself. I know that our current Sales VP was diametrically opposed to her as she
discussed long-held initiatives that he’s been pushing – to little success as you know – and really got him (and us) to reconsider what success would
look like for us. Tough times require new thinking or tweaking on traditional methods. Morgen’s thinking is very close to the basics that built this company,
with some contemporary tools that might result in more sales.

Sharon Drew provided Qvidian’s Connect11 attendees with a very engaging, thought provoking and interactive session focused on leveraging
Buying Facilitation® techniques to help manage the buying decision path earlier, and thereby drive higher win rates and increased sales effectiveness.
Prior to the conference she spent quite a bit of time doing research and speaking with a few of our clients to make sure she had a clear understanding of
our needs and possible solutions for us. We learned a lot, and were able to use her ideas to help us respond to our clients better.
